Summary
Sustainable remote work requires functional digital systems and supportive leadership. This study found digital conditions, resources, and social relations are key to process quality, trust, and coherence for white-collar employees.
Area of Science:
- Organizational Psychology
- Information Systems
- Sociology of Work
Background:
- The shift towards remote work necessitates understanding factors for sustainable employment.
- Limited research exists on digital management systems' role in remote work sustainability.
- The COVID-19 pandemic accelerated remote work, highlighting the need for such research.
Purpose of the Study:
- To investigate conditions and resources linked to digital management systems and remote work.
- To examine associations with sustainable work indicators: process quality, trust, and sense of coherence.
- To analyze these factors for remote work during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Main Methods:
- Analytical cross-sectional study design.
- Questionnaire data collected from 484 white-collar employees in two companies.
- Regression models used to analyze data, stratified by work location (home vs. office).
Main Results:
- Digital conditions and resources demonstrated significant associations with sustainable work indicators.
- Social work relations emerged as crucial explanatory factors for sustainable remote work.
- Findings highlight the interplay between technology, social dynamics, and employee well-being.
Conclusions:
- Functional digital management systems are essential for sustainable remote work.
- Adequate leadership fostering a positive team and learning climate is vital.
- This research informs post-pandemic work-life balance strategies, emphasizing holistic support for remote employees.

The principle of virtual work states that if a body is in static and dynamic equilibrium, then the sum of all the virtual work done by all external forces and couple moments for any given virtual displacement must be zero.
In static equilibrium, a body can experience an imaginary or virtual movement, such as displacement or rotation. The virtual work done by a force is equal to the dot product of force and virtual displacement in the direction of the force. When it comes to virtually rotating a...
